This article deals with the unsteady flow in rotating circular plates located at a finite distance filled with Reiner-Rivlin nanofluid. The Reiner-Rivlin nanofluid is electrically conducting and incompressible. Furthermore, the nanofluid also accommodates motile gyrotactic microorganisms under the effect of activation energy and thermal radiation. The mathematical formulation is performed by employing the transformation variables. The finalized formulated equations are solved using a semi-numerical technique entitled Differential Transformation Method (DTM). Padé approximation is also used with DTM to present the solution of nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations. Padé approximation helps to improve the accuracy and convergence of the obtained results. The impact of several physical parameters is discussed and gives analysis on velocity (axial and tangential), magnetic, temperature, concentration field, and motile gyrotactic microorganism functions. The impact of torque on the lower and upper plates are deliberated and presented through the tabular method. Furthermore, numerical values of Nusselt number, motile density number, and Sherwood number are given through tabular forms. It is worth mentioning here that the DTM-Padé is found to be a stable and accurate method. From a practical point of view, these flows can model cases arising in geophysics, oceanography, and in many industrial applications like turbomachinery.
A numerical study of boundary-layer flow past on a moving flat plate in
nanofluid with variable wall temperature and viscous dissipation is
presented. The PDE containing model for flow phenomena are transformed to
ODE with the aid of appropriate similarity transformations. The transformed
equations are then solved numerically by using the built-in bvp4c scheme of
MATLAB. After the validation of the scheme, numerical solutions are
determined for the temperature and nanoparticle concentration profiles along
with physical quantities of interest. The effects of involved parameters
such as variable temperature index, Prandtl number, Eckert number, Lewis
number, plate moving parameter, thermophoresis motion, and Brownian
parameters are examined and reported through graphs and tables
